"A shoe always has ______."
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Sole

Option (1) Leather — shoes are also made of canvas, rubber or plastic.
Option (2) Sole — the sole is the bottom layer that touches the ground; every shoe has one, so this is always true.
Option (3) Heel — a flat shoe has no raised heel.
Option (4) Laces — slip-on shoes and shoes with buckles or straps have no laces.
